I'm so excited about this project because the details are now written down and preserved for our posterity. According to Michela, our oldest, we are "so adorable." Gotta love that! Don't pester Kris about the fact that he willingly wore twin outfits that I made for us. It causes him a bit of grief just looking at some of those photos. He tries to claim that he was just so in love that he'd do most anything for me. Truth is...he wore those jam shorts for years. Yes, I made several versions for him...only a couple of which were exact matches with mine. Fun times!

Actually, I wanted to do something with our story years ago, but with an assignment from Heritage Makers for a love-type book, it was the perfect moment. I had a list of topics and asked Kris to write up his version and I wrote mine. Michela edited for both of us. I knew we'd get more interesting stuff if we didn't see what the other one wrote until later. I'm so happy with how it turned out. You can make one, too! It's available in the Heritage Makers' template gallery.

Catherine - I LOVE this! I so want one for me and Gary, but ... who in the world was taking all those photos of you guys? I know we don't have hardly any of us dating, engaged, etc. The photograpy is beautiful - especially the one where you are standing in a field and the sun is low (the proposal - seriously - who hangs out with you taking photos?) - I would KILL for a photo of Gary and I like that (except for the fact that I am 5'2" and he is 6'3" so we just look plain stupid together!) I have made a book at shutterfly on living in Norway for 2 years, just because it was free. I like this 'Heritage Makers'. What a wonderful gift you are giving people and your posterity!
